The most frequently tracked factors in BPM performance are:
Time: Cycle time, lead time
Quality: Defect rates, compliance
Capacity: Process throughput
Cost: Resource utilization, efficiency
These metrics ensure a balanced view ofoperational performanceand enable identification of trade-offs betweenspeed, cost, and quality.
“The fundamental dimensions of process performance include time, cost, capacity, and quality. They offer a complete picture of how well a process is working.â€

Question # 34
What is the purpose of process modeling?
A.
To document what is necessary for making decisions about existing processes
B.
To communicate to drive consensus on how the process is performed
C.
To create a representation of the process that describes it accurately and sufficiently for the task at hand
D.
To simplify the technical drawings of all the business process areas
The purpose ofprocess modelingis to create astructured representationof how work flowswithin a business. This model supportsanalysis, communication, simulation, and redesign. It must beaccurate and sufficiently detailedto serve its intended purpose—whether it's improvement, automation, or compliance.
“A process model should represent the process with sufficient detail to support the objective at hand. The modeling effort must be based on the purpose, such as documenting for compliance or analyzing for optimization.â€
– ABPMP CBOK®, Chapter 2 – Process Modeling
Process models also:
Foster shared understanding
Act as a foundation for transformation initiatives
Serve as documentation for standardization and training
[Reference: ABPMP CBOK®, Chapter 2 – Process Modeling, ]
Question # 35
Which are proven approaches to measure process performance?
Benchmarkingcompares internal process performance with industry standards or best practices.
Multi-moment analysissamples work activities over time to identify patterns and improvement areas.
“Benchmarking allows comparison against best-in-class processes, while multi-moment analysis captures time allocation across activities to detect inefficiencies.â€
– ABPMP CBOK®, Chapter 6 – Process Performance Management
These approaches enable:
Data-driven decision-making
Identification of waste and delays
Insight into competitive performance
[Reference: ABPMP CBOK®, Chapter 6 – Process Performance Management, ]
Question # 36
The feasibility of blockchain by industry depends on the type of
A.
Asset, technology maturity, standards, regulation, and the ecosystem
B.
Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) and more usage by industry
C.
Contract Ledger Technology (CLT) and the increased trust of the financial markets
Theadoption and feasibility of blockchainvary based on several key factors including:
Type of asset(physical/digital)
Technology maturityin the industry
Existing standards and regulations
Thestrength of the surrounding ecosystem
“The feasibility of blockchain implementations depends on the nature of the assets being managed, regulatory environment, technology readiness, and the maturity of the surrounding business ecosystem.â€
Successfulchange management practitionersmust possess a well-rounded set of skills that enable them to lead change initiatives effectively. These include:
Communication: Articulate vision and changes
Coaching: Guide teams through transitions
Strategic thinking: Align changes with long-term goals
